CAIRO (AA) – Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi welcomed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Tuesday upon arrival at Cairo airport.

The Egyptian presidency said bin Salman arrived in Cairo at the start of his visit to Egypt, without specifying the duration of the visit.

The two leaders are expected to explore ways of enhancing bilateral relations and a host of regional and international issues, Egypt’s state news agency MENA reported.

On Sept. 16, bin Salman met with Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly in Riyadh to discuss enhancing cooperation between the two countries.

In June 2022, during a visit to Egypt, bin Salman held talks with Sisi during which they affirmed their shared stance and common destiny, culminating in the signing of 14 investment agreements.

In November 2023, the Egyptian president and the Saudi crown prince met in Riyadh and called on the international community to intervene to halt Israeli military escalation in the Gaza Strip.
